When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"You are... Jiang Feng!"

"Sixth Brother, you're the one who killed him!"

As soon as he said it, the Fifth Elder himself gasped.

He was ordered to infiltrate the secret realm this time, and he had only one mission—to hunt down the most outstanding talents and bring them back to be refined into pills!

Jiang Feng's name was prominently listed first on the list prepared by the sect leader.

But he never expected to run into the person in question so soon.

Even more unexpectedly, it would happen when his sternum was shattered and his vital energy was exhausted.

"We can't fight him! This kid is no ordinary fighter!"

The thought flashed through my mind in an instant.

The Fifth Elder gritted his teeth, grabbed two thunder pearls from his storage ring, and hurled them at Jiang Feng with all his remaining true energy. Then, without looking back, he turned and ran!

"boom!!!"

The thunder pearl exploded, and a blinding white light engulfed an area of ​​ten feet in radius.

……

A moment later, Jiang Feng, who was standing still, dusted off non-existent dust from his shoulders.

The two lightning orbs made quite a show of force, but unfortunately they couldn't even hit the hem of his clothes.

He watched the direction the Fifth Elder fled in, but did not immediately give chase.

The old dog is so badly injured that it can't run far.

It's better to follow behind and see.

Let's see if he goes to join up with the other members of the Purple Scorpion Sect.

Following the clues to catch more fish is more valuable than killing them with a single sword!

A dozen minutes later.

The Fifth Elder plunged headfirst into a ravine, leaning against the rock wall, gasping for breath. Each breath aggravated his shattered sternum, causing him excruciating pain that contorted his face.

"Damn it...damn it!"

He pounded the ground, cursing through gritted teeth.

"The Monkey King's corpse wasn't taken away... That kid got a fifth-tier beast for nothing!"

Despite his cursing, his eyes darted around, and he smiled sinisterly again.

"However, it's alright!"

"Since they're all in the secret realm anyway, once I recover from my injuries, I'll definitely find that brat, capture him, and refine him into a [Demon Transformation Talent Pill]!"

"The pills refined by the prodigy are incredibly potent, doubling their medicinal effects."

As he spoke, he recalled the blue shield from earlier, looked down at his watch, and clicked his tongue in admiration.

"The watch that woman gave me is really nice."

"Speaking of which, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been able to sneak into this secret realm so easily..."

Just as he was talking to himself.

A faint voice came from behind.

"Oh? Did the people from Wuhan University let you in?"

The smile on the Fifth Elder's face froze instantly.

He turned his head sharply, his face filled with horror as if he had seen a ghost.

The young man stood three steps behind him, his Purple Cloud Sword pointing diagonally at the ground, and it was unclear how long he had been standing there.

"you……"

Before he could finish speaking...

Jiang Feng took a step forward, activating the Soaring Dragon Technique, his figure approaching like a ghost, the Purple Cloud Sword drawing a cold arc of light.

"puff!"

The sword blade sliced ​​open the major artery on the side of the Fifth Elder's neck.

Fresh blood gushed out.

The Fifth Elder clutched his neck tightly, his face turning deathly pale at a visible speed.

He just couldn't understand it. How could this kid... catch up so quickly?!

Jiang Feng pressed the tip of his sword against his throat, his voice cold and devoid of any warmth.

"explain!"

"Who let you in?"

"Who is the traitor within Wuhan University?!"

The Fifth Elder stared intently at him.

The blood was flowing very fast, and he could feel his life slipping away rapidly.

There's no escape; I'm doomed today.

Once he understood this, the fear on his face gradually faded, replaced by a kind of desperate madness.

"Ha...haha...hahahaha!"

"Jiang Feng! Don't be so smug!"

"Ever since you killed Sixth Brother, the Sect Master has been furious. For this secret realm trial, all five elders of my Purple Scorpion Sect have come out to wipe out all of you prodigies in one fell swoop!"

"I'm certain that your sister and your brothers are most likely already dead at the hands of the other elders!"

"Speaking of which, your sister is really beautiful..."

"If I were to refine her into an elixir, it would surely taste incredibly sweet and delicious! Hahaha..."

"Pfft!"

A flash of sword light.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

A perfectly healthy head flew into the air and rolled into the grass, its face still bearing a look of madness.

The headless corpse swayed and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Jiang Feng stood with his sword in hand, staring blankly at the corpse, only the chilling coldness deep in his eyes seemed to solidify inch by inch like ancient ice.

His sister was his Achilles' heel.

Anyone who touches it will die!

"The Purple Scorpion Sect..."

Jiang Feng slowly sheathed his sword, each word carrying a murderous intent as powerful as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"If even a single hair on my sister's head were to fall, I'd wipe out your entire family, leaving no one alive!"

Just now.

【Ding! 】

A system notification suddenly sounded in my mind.

[A major crisis event has been detected, triggering a mission from the Emperor System!]

[Task Background]:

The Great Emperor participated in the Secret Realm Trial, and should have been competing with other geniuses for the top spot.

However, the leader of the Purple Scorpion Sect seized upon a weakness in Lin Yuhan, the assistant to the principal of Wuda University, and forced him to open the secret realm ahead of schedule. He then placed the five elders of the Purple Scorpion Sect and dozens of members into the secret realm to hunt down geniuses and refine them into pills.

The Emperor and his sister Shen Weilan are both on the kill list, posing a considerable threat to the Emperor.

The Blood Vulture Gang is affiliated with the Demonic Sect.

The powerful figures of the Demonic Sect forcibly tore open the secret realm, solely to force these hyenas into the fray and accelerate the development of the prodigies' fortunes, in preparation for their eventual harvest.

The ten candidates with the Blood Card Club's Red Heart codename have been assigned to enter the secret realm with the aim of opening the [Blood Demon Altar].

Once the altar is opened and the secret realm shatters, Linchuan City will be swallowed by the abyss and turned into a living hell!

[Task Requirements]:

1. Annihilate the five elders of the Purple Scorpion Sect (1/5)

II. Annihilate the Blood Vulture Gang Leader (0/1)

III. Preventing the Blood Demon Altar from Opening (In Progress)

[Task Reward]: Emperor's Bloodline Activated Ahead of Schedule!

……

Jiang Feng stood still, quietly reading through the task panel, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Purple Scorpion Sect, Demonic Sect, Blood Card Society...

This trial in the secret realm has transformed from a simple contest between geniuses into a battlefield where various forces vie for supremacy!

Those trainees who joined later were treated more like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of the authorities!

"Good, very good!"

"Since you're all here, none of you will leave."
